Welcome to another 30 day challenge which in honor of spooky season will cover the topic of Pop Culture Villains!

Sometimes, the villain doesn’t start the villain. Sometimes it’s a fall from grace we get to experience, a Heel turn full of tragedy, betrayal, and Going Too Far – sometimes even for the protagonist themselves. So the main prompt of today is: What are the most effective Heel Turns in pop culture? Who had the best justification for going Bad?

Bonus Prompt: What was the most forced / worst Heel Turn?

Maniacal prompt: Who should’ve become a heel, but didn’t?

Machiavellian Prompt: What stories didn’t commit to the Heel Turns enough, or wasted them?
